Good morning, my love..

I woke up from my sleep
with you,
in my hands again
on my breath and in my mind.
I really need to see you,
be next to you, kiss you,
hold you...

I miss you.
I want to feel you
on my body,
hear you whisper,
"I want to touch you..."
feel your hands,
your lips,
feel you...

I want to lay next to you,
close and even closer,
watch you sleep
until you say,
"Good morning, baby..."

I want to feel your breath
and take it in, carry
your essence with mine,
forever..
I miss you.
I think of you.
I love you.
I need you.
I wait for you...

My whole life, I ached
for my love,
I searched, for him-
I knew him but not of him.
I dreamt about him
but never saw his face.
I felt him, in my bones
and I knew,
I would know him
when I saw him-
I knew he'd be extraordinary;
kind, gentle, sensitive,
strong,
​calm, and he knew,
with every fiber of his being,
I was His-

My whole being,
my body
pained and yearned,
even cried
for him
for many, many years...

Then I found you
and we shared beauty.
I felt at ease,
the ache was gone
the pain was calm
and the yearn was satisfied.

Now, we're apart
and the yearning,
the ache
is back.

It's you..
You're the one,
who fills the ache.
you're the one,
who heals the pain
and you, my love
satisfy, my love.

It's you..
It's been you for lifetimes,
forever and now
because I can feel you,
your heart beating
as clearly as I can feel my own
and I know
that separation is an illusion.
